Durkheim defined religion as a “unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things,” emphasizing its role in binding individuals together through shared values/collective experiences.

As a social institution, religion provides moral guidance, reinforces cultural norms, facilitates social integration, and offers explanations for life’s mysteries, such as birth, death, and suffering.

15:00 CLAIRE KHAW joins to discuss absolute monarchy in Christendom.
16:00 The EU
17:00 Christianity in Ireland
Ireland converted to Christianity primarily during the 5th century due to the strategic efforts of missionaries like Saint Patrick, the allure of a new faith offering salvation, and the integration of Christian practices with existing Gaelic culture. The religion offered hope during potential times of crisis or crop failure, and it was adapted rather than simply forced upon the population.Key Factors in Ireland’s Conversion:Missionary Activity: While Saint Patrick (c. 432) is the most famous figure, Christianity existed in Ireland before him, brought via trade routes with Britain and Gaul. Early missionaries helped establish a foothold for the faith.Adaptation of Beliefs: Christianity was adapted to fit the local population rather than requiring an immediate total change, allowing for a smoother transition from paganism.Appeal of the Faith: The religion's promises of salvation and eternal life were attractive, especially during times of uncertainty.Political Shift: Christianity provided a way for Ireland to connect with the wider, increasingly Christianized European world, including the Roman world,, despite never being conquered by Rome.Monasticism: The development of a unique, powerful monastic system, which allowed for a fusion of Christian ideals with local Irish societal structures, played a crucial role in its spread.While some narratives suggest a rapid, top-down conversion where chieftains like Loiguire accepted the faith to avoid divine wrath, the process was more gradual and involved the assimilation of local traditions.

19:00 Clovis I was the first European king to convert to Catholicism.
Clovis I, King of the Franks, famously converted from paganism to Roman Catholicism on Christmas Day in 496 (or shortly after), a pivotal moment in European history supported by his wife, Clotilde. Another major conversion was Henry IV of France, who converted from Protestantism to Catholicism in 1593 to secure the French throne, famously stating, "Paris is worth a mass".
